Force Management Academy offers a variety of courses, designed to offer simple, easy to learn, yet very effective self-defense for those who do not want to have to study martial arts, firearms, or attend repeated courses to learn complex skills.

True self-defense is about awareness & avoidance, not fighting or combat skills, yet many teach only combat skills as self-defense, the truth is the use of violence represents a total breakdown in your self-defense plan. Although these skills are a very real part of most of our training programs, our focus is on staying out of danger, and then what to do once you are faced with it, including a variety of non-violent physical skills that can be used to reduce or remove a threat.

While martial arts are good mental and physical discipline, most are not realistic for self-defense, being designed for both participants to be using the same set of rules.

In self-defense, your opponent will have no rules.

Our courses are designed to provide you with proven real-world knowledge & skills to help you avoid danger when possible, and deal with it when you must. We teach the physiology and psychology of combat, verbal control, hold breaks, as well as the best physical skills from a wide variety of sources including; Judo, Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu, military combatives, street fighting tricks, and much more.

We also offer non-physical safety lectures suitable to small or large groups on awareness, avoidance, and the legal use of force for community groups, church groups, or anyone who wants to learn the basics without the physical skills.
